A winter blast has left roads snowy and icy in spots for the Wednesday morning commute in Denver.

Weather forecasters’ predictions of 1 to 2 inches of snow Tuesday came to fruition, and Denver Public Works crews were fully deployed when snow began to stick to the streets. Crews worked through the night spreading de-icers, but there are still spots that could be tricky.

“Drivers should allow plenty of extra time for the morning commute and should be aware that icy conditions may exist throughout the system,” Denver Public Works said in a morning news release.

As usual, drivers are also urged to be cautious on bridges and elevated stretched of road that could be icy, and to make sure they have plenty of windshield wiper fluid to deal with splash back.

Public works said it will have snowplows out Wednesday morning, continuing to clear the roads.

The temperature at Denver International Airport was 14 degrees as of 5 a.m. However, the snow isn’t expected to stick around very long. The National Weather Service predicts temperatures will return to the seasonal average Wednesday in Denver.

The average high temperature for Feb. 26 in Denver is 49 degrees. The weather service predicts the high temperature will climb near 50 degrees Wednesday. According to our hourly forecast tracker, the temperature should peak in the 2 p.m. hour.

Skies are expected to be clear and sunny Wednesday, with some light and variable wind, the weather service said.
